Not running, but moving

I still haven't got back into the running thing, but hope to start this weekend. As long as it's not snowing.

I am doing daily Wii Fit now, though. And I had my bike fixed at long last, so have cycle commuted yesterday and today. If the pounds don't start dropping off my waist and adding themselves to my shoulders, I'll be most upset.

Fitpiggy filling up

Still not been for a run, but did a Wii Fit session at lunchtime yesterday and am opening up more and more exercises. Yoga's fun and really making me aware of my appalling posture. Muscle exercises are highlighting the fact that I have no muscles.

I also had my bike collected yesterday and hope to get it back today so I can start cycle commuting again.

Physical activity has occurred

It's not massive progress and certainly not enough to get me on the way to the half marathon in February. (I still haven't actually had confirmation I have a place, mind, just that they've accpeted my entry fee. Anyone else?)

But I did 30 mins on the Wii Fit yesterday, doing every available exercise once. Now, of course, I've opened up some more. Sigh. And, also, ow. My calves are killing me. Also my back. And, oh, my stomach. That'll be the lunges, press ups and jackknifes, then.

Am working from home for the next couple of days, so should be able to squeeze in sessions before I start and am also hoping to get my bike fixed by this lot, who are apparently fabulous.

Off the buses. Expect to hear whinge about by glutes in the near future.

Colds ain't what they used to be

This one's lasted 2 weeks so far. But I feel the end is in sight. I can breathe and taste my food again at last, but still cough every time I laugh, which is really annoying cos I laugh ALL THE TIME. Am hoping to run tomorrow. It was going to be today, but there was brandy last night and I've got ridiculous amounts of work to do this weekend which I'm focusing on today. I think I'll try the 'long run' from whichever week in the programme I'm meant to be in in order to be ready for a half marathon in February. Just working that out could take a while, but onwards and upwards and I'll let you know how it goes if and when it happens.

I think you'll find it's double pneumonia

I've had a head full of yuck all week, aches and pains, etc. I haven't done any exercise at all and don't plan any today. Clearly, this can't be a simple cold. I am a man, after all. (Please feel free not to comment.) If I make it through the weekend without enduring a slow and painful death, I shall expect to be treated as a total hero and then I'll get back into the health thing.

Medical dictionaries are tremendous fun, aren't they? I believe I have some or all of the following:

Pneumonia
Tuberculosis
Ebola
Dengue Fever
West Nile Virus

I am therefore already a medical miracle and an absolute marvel. Go me!!!!!!
